How do you set out a line graph showing current vs voltage?

its like a bar graph but with little crosses and you join them up with lines


How designing stabilizing resistor in restricted earth fault relay?

To determine the value of Stabilizing resistor Rs = Vs/Is = If(Rct +2Rl)/Is Where, Rs = resistance value of the stabilizing resistor Vs = voltage at which the relay will operate Is = current flowing through the stabilizing resitor and the relay If = maximum secondary fault current magnitude Rct = internal resistance of the current transformer Rl = resistance of attached wire leads


Is the plot of current versus frequency symmetrical about the resonant frequency in LRC circuit?

The plot of current vs. frequency is not symmetric because the equations for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are not symmetric. One is linear and the other is inverse.


What is the difference between linear and saturation regions in field effect transistor?

In the linear region, the transistor has an almost linear I versus V curve, which means that as you increase drain-source voltage, current changes proportionally, e.g. to a loose approximation, the FET behaves like a resistor, whose resistance is set by the gate-source voltage. In the saturation region, the I vs V curve looks like a horizontal line (almost) so it acts like more like a switch (neither of these analogies is exact, but they give the general idea).


What are the mechanical and electrical characteristics of a DC shunt motor?

mechanical characteristics can be drawn between speed and torque electrical characteristics are 1. Output power vs speed 2. Output power vs input power 3. Output power vs efficiency 4. Output power vs torque 5. Output power vs line current

If your voltage vs distance graph is not linear what could have caused this result?

voltage= f(ln(r)) graph is linear and voltage vs distance is non linear because voltage changes with 1/r so the graph is with curve. we use ln because ln direct the graph.


What is an example of a circuit that doesnt obey Ohms Law?

The easiest circuit that does not obey Ohm's law is a circuit that has a resistance that depends on temperature. For example, if you take a light bulb and draw a current-vs-voltage, you see that in the beginning (under low voltage) the graph is NOT a straight line, but under high voltage the graph is linear. This is because the resistance depends on temperature. the equation V=IR isn't consistent with the graph's shape.


What are the differences between a Speed vs. Kinetic Energy Graph between a Mass vs. Kinetic Energy Graph?

Look at the equation for kinetic energy.It is clear that relation between mass and kinetic energy is linear (you would get a straight line on the graph), while the relation between speed and kinetic energy is quadratic (you would get a curve, specifically a parabola).

How do you make a velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph?

Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph


What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?

The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.


What is physical meaning of slope for voltages vs current graphs?

According to Ohm's Law, R = V/I, the physical meaning of slope for voltages vs current graphs is resistance.


Why do chemists prefer to read the absorbance rather than the percent transmittance of lght when analyzing a sample having a visible color?

Because when you graph a molar concentration vs. absorbance graph, the graph is linear, making the graph easier to read.
